They\u2019re very fun for times when you\u2019re hanging out with a partner, friends, or family, and you\u2019re in the mood for extra compelling chats. Author Esther Perel just released a new edition of her famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=95211&amp;awinaffid=109390&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fgame.estherperel.com%2Fproducts%2Fwhere-should-we-begin-a-game-of-stories-2nd-edition\" target=\"_blank\">Where Should We Begin cards<\/a> \u2014 the deck includes 200 prompts that touch on big questions (\u201ca risk I took that changed my life\u2026\u201d) and lower-stakes stuff (\u201ca text message I fantasize sending\u2026\u201d). I like how easily adaptable they are (there\u2019s a \u201csafe for work\u201d mode), and they work one-on-one or in a group. The deck would make a great gift, too (I\u2019m giving one to my sister for us all to play over the holidays).
